Instead of a seam ripper, I often use a blunt-ish yarn needle. If you can get your grandfather to make you a handle, drill a tiny hole and epoxy your favorite yarn needle into the hole (the needle's eye goes into the hole) and you have an easy awl made to your specifications. 💕🌞🌵😷

At home, I like a pincushion that looks like a porcupine, but in my travel kit, I just added a second page to my needle book as I have to lay down all the pins anyway (when I want to roll everything up). It really cut down on the bulk of my roll by eliminating the padded pincushion. I'd place another pocket instead of your padded pincushion. 💕🌞🌵😷

Yeah I want to make those too, do you have a pattern for them?

these r so cute ! i love the color of the green ones

I thought you were a VERY GOOD TEACHER. Thank you.

This is a good obsession.❤

Tutorial? They look perfect for horizontally challenged girls like me

Is there a book you recommend that explains how to do this? I love your videos, they are beautiful, inspiring and helpful! Thank you!!

I LOVE these pants! the pattern was the best purchase of my life and this is a wonderful video, it made the instructions so clear. I love the fit, I can't wait to use it for some shorts as well

Great video thank you ❤❤❤

Very helpful and well explained and shown. Thank you!

Would it be difficult to sew this by hand? I’ve wanted to make a pair of trousers for a long time but by hand 😅

Loved testing these for you!

❤nice trousers....thanks for making it a pattern....gonna make this one😊

Well now a new Ora Lin pattern and tutorial is a wonderful festive surprise! Great addition to the catalogue ❤

These look great! Ive only sewed one pair of pants before, because im terrified of the front fly. But you're instructions are the clearest ive seen so far, so im going to givevit a shot! Thank you 😊

Hi, I checked your website but couldn't find the pattern for this V3 blouse? Could you share the link?

Fabulous tutorial and adorable pants ❤ thank you for sharing

This is such an impressive feat of a pattern! I usually prefer drafting things myself, but I love this style and I'm absolutely getting the pattern to try.

Where'd you get that orange corduroy???? It's so pretty 😍😍 lovely video

YES! Yay thank you :D

This is a great looking pair of pants on you. I like the different colors you made. They look comfortable and dressy. Thank you.

This video is sponsored by Ora Lin Patterns. Jk, but please pick up a pattern if you like to sew and enjoy my designs!

Thanks Ora!! Just an adorable sewing kit!! So useful!!

Hi! I am currently sewing the dress and wanted to ask if you have a rough estimate about how much thread you needed? Want to finish it till Christmas and am unsure if I need to buy another spool of thread

What would you suggest if I were to try to size down this pattern for children's sizes?

What would historical folks have done if they lost or damaged their needles and needed more? <3 What did we use before the industrial era?

Heavy starch will mitigate a good chunk of warp actually warping. Also using stabilizing interface just along the seam allowances will hold the shape. 😁

Maybe I am overthinking it but how are you measuring the shoulders for the main body piece?

This was a great tutorial. His was so helpful. Greatlyvappreciate it. Thank you so much.

Your coat looks incredible and thank you for making such a detailed video. My tailor & I will use this as inspiration in Morocco, although I would have loved to commission a coat from you if I knew where to find you.

i loved the whole tutorial just one thing is unclear, how exactly was the boning added ??

I've had a lightweight gray wool in my stash for years now that I got on sale waiting for the perfect project. Project, found.

excellent thank you

thank you so much you literally explained no one does this

This is honestly one of the most beautiful dresses I've ever seen! And it has pockets. Perfection ❤

Very nice. Thank you

Ive been searching and searching for this. Thanks so much for explaning. Is there a way for me to figure out how high my collar roll line should be? I am making a shawl collar coat so I'm not sure if its applicaple for those to help with shape?

More filming of stitching and less of your face would be helpful for me. Thank you for the informative video.

I have watched quite a few tailoring videos and yours is definitely the best. Thanks for the tips

It would be more helpful to demonstrate on your body or from a diagram while you are speaking. It gives more clarity to what you are saying. For us visual learners, you might start with your finished pattern draft, then work backwards, de constructing it into simple parts. Seeing the whole, helps us to see the parts in relation to each other. For a person who is larger on the the front half of their body ie. larger busted the front side quarter is not going to be equal to the back side quarter, so one must keep that in mind. Your stays look lovely.

Lol , one does not mention thy cat without said showing said kitty

very cool!

I’m a beginner but I hope to learn more and be able to use your patterns soon!!! You are so talented Ora!

OOOOOH~ Excellent

the purple pants is fire!

Usually I find something interesting about it, if you know it it's called Mother Hubbard dress or some call it "prairie dress" but the hem of the skirt is long also as a loose fitting gown. It was a housework dress and also worn by most of pacific islander women, especially tahitians. Also some parts in Africa until now, they still have the reminisce of mother Hubbard dresses in their garments.
